Hiking H-1B Visa Fees: India's Diplomatic Dance with Trump Era Policies

India is actively negotiating with the Trump administration following the decision to significantly raise the H-1B visa application fees to USD 100,000.

The Ministry of External Affairs highlights that the movement of skilled professionals greatly fuels innovation and economic expansion in both nations.
